Excellent video! Very candid. Half way through it, I started wondering what kind of legacy the last two generations of blacks had to impress on their children, until I realized that it's sadly been oppression, desperation, violence and negative sexuality.

Interesting piece about Rosa Parks in my paper today... I can't link it because it's too new... but it was about her lifelong activism, and the fact that she never claimed her feet were tired or anything else --she had long before determined that if she was ever asked to stand for a white man she would refuse. So she did.

Good points, and from a very respectable military man. I took a class in college titled "African American History since 1835", was one of the few non blacks in the class. The teacher started asking basic African American history information ( the anti slavery amendments, Jim Crow information i.e.) and no one but me knew the answers (history major, teacher knew that, I'd had him several times prior). The teacher asked why the "white girl" knew more about African American History than the African Americans....made the rest of the class very uncomfortable for me, but he had a point as well. It's important to know what your past history is!

That's one theory. Or, trying to have discusions centered around race in this forum is like a nightmarish ride on a sick and twisted merry go round full of screeching harpies from every side. No intricacies and subtleties are allowed, everything always gets pushed to one extreme or the other, everyone is told that their personal experiences are made up, and all reasoned argument (from both sides) gets lost in the madness of lunacy of extremism.

I dont enter into race discussions with people who seem to have an agenda. This OP I always hear banjo's playing and the other dick who is obsessed with black people just needs to get a life...go ride a bike somewhere:-)
